I'm sorry but have you actually played it since it launched? Or ever?
I really feel like we (HN) should be better than just parroting blogs and YouTubers and be better about actually talking about something in an informed manner instead.
This is the type of response I expect on steam or some other gaming site where people are incapable of making their own decisions and instead just parrot someone else.
- xk_id 3y agoNothing has proved more conclusively than crypto threads that you cannot really expect HN to be above that standard of discourse. Maybe it once was, but very few people have been spared by the polarising, indignation-fuelling, engagement maximising tactics of social media influencers.
- emptysongglass 3y agoIndeed. I'll add the proliferation of AI doomers driving actual ML researchers away to that tally. And cookie banner defenders.
- gumballindie 3y agoI mean i’ve been playing this game since its release date. Once you get past the awe at a sheer number of planets and procedurally generated “wildlife” you start to notice the game is rather empty. I really feel like we shluldnt jump straight to accusations of “parroting” and being “incapable of making their own decisions”. Out of curiosity i made my own game with planets and denser vegetation that run smoother than no mans sky and i have zero game dev experience.
